Pink not Blue
I need feminism because I don't like feeling weaker as a girl
I don't want to be embarrassed when I see women doing ladylike things and being dainty
I do not need to be extremely loud
and rude in order to be taken seriously
I started writing this but I realized
that I don't know what feminism really is
So What is feminism? Google says:
fem·i·nism/ˈfeməˌnizəm/
noun
the advocacy of women's rights on the grounds of political, social, and economic equality to men.
I now know
what it is but do I need it?
Well not
entirely
I've been brought up as empowered
female
The kind that sticks it to the man
when necessary
I don't necessarily need this society to accept me more because I'm female.
When they will treat me lesser than my male counterparts
Yes I'm loud when I speak my mind
but is that because as a female I've
been oppressed? Do I need to speak up and prove my worth as a girl?
No
Infant I simply enjoy sharing my
thoughts, not because I'm put down
as a female but because I've been
taught to think intellectually. I'm not
trying to prove anything because I
don't have an urge to do so
I first need to truly understand what
it feels like to be oppressed and
subjugated because of my gender
before I speak about feminism and
gender equality
